"The Law is Useless" is my newest pet peeve. I hate when media portrays the law and authority figures as pointless and unhelpful. It works when the authority is ACTUALLY incompetent, but not when it's portraying our real life justice system. This episode is giving us misinformation about the law so they can continue making these unfunny jokes about abuse? That's just despicable.

I think the show that I have seen that has portrayed an abusive situation the best is Avatar the Last Airbender. While the fire lord may not be physically abusive, except for burning his face, it shows how powerful emotional and mental abuse is. Even after Zuko hadn't seen his dad in years he still was constantly controlled by him. I think it's the best portrayal that I've seen because it showed how long it took him to break free from the abuse. It wasn't until the 2nd half of season 3. And it showed how hard it was. And this is a show for 10 year olds!!! Family guy is crap

+SwingingReporter Or how about when the abuser constantly gets things from you, essentially leeching you dry, and then guilt trips you for more things? During the time I was abused, I often felt more and more pain with each "joke" she dealt to me. She always "reassured" me that she was joking around, but she always did it with my insecurities. To add to that, she used my personal beliefs and need to belong somewhere against me, and fabricated an entirely fake life for both of us just so I'd keep coming back to her because she was the only person I could really "relate" to and "learn from." Now here's the real kicker that makes me have the full on desire to deck her for what she's done to me: she took my best friend away from me and is most likely abusing her to this day, however because of complicated existential issues I'm going through right now, I question the validity of the hypothesized abuse and reality of the friendship I once had.

I think the important thing to get across is the fact that abuse is almost always unseen and only really picked up on when things get really bad. Maybe if they made the abuse more subtle (just having her show up with a few bruises now and then) then have it come to a head towards the end of the episode. That way they could still have all the Family guy gags then end on a strong note. The same way South Park does it.

There are a lot of factors but there is still a choice to be made.. It doesn't make them bad people if they don't make the right choice but they are making a choice that makes their life worse. That's the point being made... not the tactic used. There are better tactics for sure but it isn't the tactic that is the point. It is the choice. Again, spent many years in this situation and not offended at all. I am sorry you, Devine, had to live through abuse... it sucks. But BrushedPencil cursing and getting offended is pointless.

@papershadow8 жыл бұрын
+BrushedPencil My thing is the fact that I KIND of see what they were going for and I can still very easily see everything wrong with it. I get that they were trying to say something like Brenda does need to be strong enough to choose to leave the relationship, but they don't address the very real possibility that even if she wants to leave it, she's probably afraid for her own safety and that of her baby (was the pregnancy revealed by that point?). Instead of belittling her for staying, do what an intervention is supposed to do and enforce the idea that she had support, that her brother and his friends are willing to help her. Even if Joe for some reason can't arrest Jeff (even if he hasn't seen the hitting happen, she has a Black Eye and Jeff has shown himself to be rough and unpleasant, logically he's a suspect for the injury, especially since Brenda is just saying "he doesn't hit me that hard" instead of the usual "I fell down the stairs" excuse you see), I'm pretty sure that between them they could probably find Brenda psychological help at a Battered Women's Shelter or SOMETHING. The big point they missed is that, ignoring the also common idea that the abused doesn't realize the abusive nature of their relationship, even if a person has the will/desire to leave, they often don't have the means, whether that's fearing for their safety or the less emotional but equally plausible thought that she simply can't financially support herself. Quagmire lives alone and Lois has rich parents who, jackasses though they are, she's shown she can get money help from if she knows what to say. There is a solution to that problem regardless of its root here, but they address one that doesn't exist and only makes the other one worse.

*EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THIS EPISODE IN 6 POINTS* 1. The stereotypical "big hulking brute terrorizing tiny frail helpless woman" scenario that reflects zero of reality and even most fictionalized portrayals (though that's honestly the least horrible thing about this episode). 2. The supposed "moral center" of this episode is a character whose sexually criminal behavior is treated as a cute quirk that's totally normal in every other episode. 3. Similarly, the main character and his wife abuse their children and each other, esp. their teenage daughter, in every other episode, and that's treated as totally normal, yet this episode introduces an abuse scenario between two characters we've never seen before, and will never see again, and...we're supposed to care, for some reason. 4. Everything about the abuse is over-the-top and ridiculous (to the point of the abuser wearing a "wife-beater"; yay, subtlety), yet it's supposed to be seen as serious...kinda-sorta...? 5. The aforementioned sex criminal chastises his sister for making him feel bad by being beaten by her partner...despite the fact that he's allowed said partner to stay in his home for several days, heard the abuse, seen it before his eyes, and done *nothing* about it. 6. There's no real resolution outside of the abuser being dead and the victim being left in her mentally fragile state...yay? You know, Family Guy writers, it's pretty bad when even Tyler Perry can write an entire story arc about a victim getting out of an abusive relationship.

Media I've seen that have portrayed abuse better: 1. Tangled. Mother Gothel seeks control above all else to keep Rapunzel in the tower, so her method of abuse is entirely psychological. She tears down Rapunzel's self-esteem, makes her dependent, tells her that she will not survive or be desirable to anyone else outside of the tower, guilt-trips her, etc. It's actually pretty well-done. 2. Steven Universe. Lapis actually admitting that she _missed_ Jasper in Alone at Sea was very powerful to me. So was Jasper trying to crawl back into a severely unhealthy relationship after all those months under the ocean because it was all she had ever known. 3. Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Mask. There's a chilling scene with the dog and Bunny where he gives her mixed signals, more in line with real abusers. He starts off sympathetic: "Come on Bunny, don't I make you happy no more?" but his tone quickly changes to menace when he brings up Kitty, and that's where the verbal threatening begins. "I take you from a two-bit joint and make you a class act, and YOU wanna make ME second rate?! If I even SMELL Kitty, I'll bury the two of ya!" Bunny starts to cry, which makes the dog switch back into "caring" mode. "Aw Bunny, you know you're my gal. Let's go back to the way we was, you know, happy like. It's okay. It's _okay."_ This is disturbing exactly _because_ it's so realistic. 4. Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, Eddy's Brother. I think what this cartoon gets most of all is how conflicted you can feel when your abuser is also your sole provider, role model, or best example. Eddy's brother is a monster, but Eddy idolizes him, desperately talks him up, and makes him to be a hero that he so clearly is not. "No more beating up little Eddy, eh big brother?"

You ever see the documentary "Child of Rage: A Story of Abuse"? It's a perfect example of what you were saying about some abusers being able to change (Though the main... "character"(?) is a child.) Beth Thomas was a young girl adopted after being taken from an abusive home with her brother. She would constantly abuser her brother, abuse pets, and tell people, including investigators, that she wanted her family to die. Beth was never told any better and had no conscience. People thought she was a sociopath at an incredibly young age. After going through therapy and a camp for children like her, Beth learned right from wrong and began to value life. Now she's living happily with her new family and has grown into a wonderful woman.

On all of the Animated Atrocities videos that I've watched, this is by far the one that has the most comments calling Mr Enter an "idiot", a "hater", saying he "lacks a sense of humor" or that he "didn't understand the joke/episode". Out of all of his videos this is the one where he gets the most backlash. And for what ? Not finding domestic abuse funny ? Thinking it's not okay to blame the victim for the abuser's actions ? Refusing to let a show get away with anything just because "lol COMEDY !!" or "but it's a cartoon !" ? Cartoons and shows influence people. Subconsciously or not people draw lessons and conclusions from what they see. Family Guy is not the only how that has tackled domestic abuse, and pretty much every show that has has done a terrible job at it. The media's overall representation of what abuse is and how it should be dealt with is abysmal. FG added to that problem with this episode. This is a fucking insult to abuse victims and such a dark and important issue should not be paired with any type of "comedy". Domestic abuse cannot be funny, there is no way to make it funny, using it as a cheap and gratuitous plot device is disrespectful.

What I find absolutely depressing about this is that once upon a time, Family Guy actually had the capacity and raw talent to blend humor with a serious issue without ruining one or the other, which can be something really hard to do. Since the show has never actually changed writers, I'm only left with one question... How or why did the writer's themselves change on the inside? Does Seth McFarline really hate the show now so much that he's purposely making the show terrible in every way possible or has he suffered severe brain damage that's affecting his personality? Although I think an issue /THIS/ serious should have never even been considered for a show like this, I firmly believe that if this episode was made somewhere in the first three seasons it would have somehow found a way to work. It would be completely different, to the point it barely even resembles any of this here at all. Despite the fact Peter Griffin was always kind of a piece of shit, there was a time once a time where he could still be likable, which is absolutely alien to what we have now because since then they've ruined the main point of his character. Personally I feel that's because episodes since Petarded have branded him as mentally retarded, meaning he's recognized in his own universe now as more than just a common idiot - his character was originally a parody of humanity its self in an abstract kind of way, making fun of the average american father. But anyway, that's a different argument... My point is, I see what the show used to be and I'm reminded of how there were episodes where he did something wrong to his family (or usually Lois) and in the end he learns his lesson and makes up for it in an actually heartwarming episode without it being too empty handed or too much of a blatant moral-driven show while still keeping the comedy alive. That's why this show was great, and now, I don't think they can ever manage to do that again. The entire plot of this show itself has been retconned and betrayed, and it's not even the same show anymore.

Skyrim Guard He's talked about how he doesn't even want to do the show anymore but "the network/viewers/contracts/financial income/mother" wont let him stop or something so that's why the show has been on life support with shock value for the past 10 seasons or so. But what shocks me is with all that, he tries to make a new show as a "breath of fresh air" several times that all turn out to be the same piece of shit show that Family Guy is now. American Dad was okay from what I hear, but The Cleveland Show had so much wasted potential and is basically just Family Guy without Peter Griffin - except not even that because they keep shoe-horning Peter into episodes for some reason and plus they changed Cleveland's personality so he's basically just black Peter. And don't even get me started on Bordertown..., it was just the worst thing ever...

*He's talked about how he doesn't even want to do the show anymore* I legitimately find that hard to believe; regardless of if he actually HAS said it, I do not believe him, at all. Because it's just like you said later; every time he expands his horizons and DOES something different, it all ends up being Family Guy. Hell, Ted 2 was filled with SEVERAL Family Guy jokes, that you could TELL that's exactly what Seth was going for. So regardless of what he said, Seth Macfarlane is not going anywhere. He's going to keep making Family Guy, one way or another.

*How or why did the writer's themselves change on the inside?* Well its simple; back during Family Guy's early years, it got cancelled. But the show was so popular that it was brought back. A few years later, it got cancelled AGAIN...and just like last time, it was SO popular, that it was brought back. ...and the writers' know that. It's just like Enter once said on his previous reviews; Family Guy has been killed, and come back from the dead TWICE now. And the writers' have this notion that, THAT is the norm. That Family Guy cannot be stopped; that it's somehow impervious to being cancelled or taken off the air. Which is why they keep doing what they're doing, and acting like they can get away with it. It's basically created a climate or consensus feeling of, "Who is going to stop us?" Family Guy has even JOKED about this entire concept in previous episodes; they pointed out how irresponsible Fox is with their merchandise - bringing up the show's two-cancellations, as "Idiotic."

@@retron99 here’s the only truth I have on the writers of Family Guy, they all have a dark fetish for making torture porn. Along with even going as far to make humans and animals have sex with each other goes to show they are into bestiality. When it comes to stuff like this kind of humor, they made in this episode. Yeah, they should’ve taken notes from South Park. I mean they make a lot of dark humor South Park, but at least they actually go straight to the point and don’t continue this dramatic approach in the way of Family Guy, does it. Another thing that really pissed me off about the episode was how Joe literally knows what’s going on and he doesn’t do anything. Going as far to say he can’t arrest Jeff until Brenda files, a complaint that’s incredibly stupid. Now yes in most cases, there has to be charges brought against the assailants, but the truth is, if it’s happening out in public and there’s proof the law can Intervine immediately. And here’s another fun fact, quagmire if he really cared about his sister, why doesn’t he turning the video footage of what’s going on in his home his sister is getting beaten inside his home? I mean he literally has footage all he has to do is give that into Joe or anyone who’s not Joe who is useless anyway. I’m still mad that all this time he lied about how he really got crippled. I know it seems harsh of me, but now when I look at that all the episode, I sound like flapjack calling him out in front of everybody. Actually know what it would be nicer. If family guy did an episode where Stewie went back in time with Brian and this time Stewie interrupted the barbecue call him a liar.

I won't lie...I used to be a HUGE fan of Family Guy...I still like the first couple seasons, and I watched on occasion until THIS episode. As someone who suffered abuse as a kid(not in a relationship, but occasionally at home, and at school on a CONSTANT basis), to the point of being suicidal, I must commend you for being as restrained as you were in this review. The moment I heard Quagmire's speech, I KNEW I was done with the show. I hadn't seen Seahorse Seashell Party, and managed to see this one instead, and holy shit. I knew FG had a HORRIBLE view of abuse, but even I could take it when it was targeting one character in a cartoon. It didn't feel real. Had I seen Seahorse Seashell Party, I likely would have quit then, and as I've seen your review for that episode, I can say I'm almost certain of that. But nothing on television has enraged me more than Quagmire's speech in this episode. I had thankfully gotten away from all my abusers by the time it aired, and I was strong enough to hear that speech without it reflecting on my life personally. But I feel sick knowing how many people easily could have heard Quagmire's victim blaming, and been pushed over the edge. How many people honestly attempted suicide, or succeeded, because of this episode? How many people are STILL in abusive relationships because they feel they're too weak and pathetic to fight back because of THAT one moment of depravity on Family Guy? The thought terrifies me. I hope this review gets out there, so at least SOME of the damage can be undone...Seriously, I love your videos, and this is easily one of the best.

I also want to add something, since it seems to be a common topic below: I am a South Park fan, as well as a FORMER Family Guy fan. They generally don't take themselves seriously, they have passion and actual thought, and when they DO take themselves seriously, they have tact and know what the fuck they're talking about. They make it clear when the joke ends and the serious bits begin. They can make actually funny jokes about things no one else would dare touch, like rape and domestic violence, because they find ways around it, and put actual EFFORT into being both thought-provoking, and offensive. Family Guy just wants to piss people off, and it doesn't CARE who it hurts. South Park DOES care. THAT is the difference.

It's like Stockholm Syndrome which is when a victim develops affection to their captor or abuser. In Alone At Sea, Jasper has a reason to want Lapis back, fusion makes one be and feel stronger. Whether they're being trapped or not, it's a feeling that's like no other. In this episode, Brenda has NO REASON to stay with Jeff! If they had looked into how they got together and why Brenda sugarcoats Jeff's actions, it would've made us feel more sympathy towards her. But they don't give us anything! It makes her look stupid and causes the characters to berate and insult her! A three year old show can raise awareness for abuse more then a 16 year old show can! Yeah I got a little crazy!

You know the real depressing part about this episode? A McFarland show handled abusive relationships much better long before this aired. It was the American Dad episode "A.T. the Abusive Terrestrial". In it, after Steve gets annoyed, Roger befriends a boy named Henry, who process to be a violent manipulative jerk. Roger keeps coming back to Henry because the latter either plays the victim card or promises something fun. But in the end, Roger abandons Henry when Steve points out that their relationship, while flawed, is still healthy and genuine.

This video is amazing. You have a FAR better grasp of the dynamics of an abusive relationship (its physical and psychological consequences on the victim, and the circumstances under which law enforcement can and cannot intervene) than the writers of this show can even hope to be. This (as well as Seahorse Seashell Party) simply reaffirms my belief that Family Guy cannot, and should not, try to tackle serious real life issues (domestic abuse, abortion, homosexuality, etc.). Suffice to say, you're a lot more intelligent, mature, and insightful with regard to what makes high quality cartoons than most of these hacks that pose as writers. You should work at Nick, Fox, or Cartoon Network; you'd make one hell of a writer and you'd definitely help turn a lot of shows around.

Quagmire gets slow, sad zoom ins on his crying face, while his sister gets jokes about how stupid and submissive she is.

What I am about to say may anger some, and if it does, I am truly sorry. I understand that it takes a great deal of strength to endure such a toxic relationship, and an even greater amount of strength to get out of it... but... My mother was in an extremely abusive relationship, one she chose to remain in for going on ten years now. I'm not going to make any friends with this comment, but as she ended up choosing him over her own children, opting to throw her children out...well, let's say that was the last time I chose to see her. And for the last two years, I completely broke contact with her. The man in question abused me, abused my brother, and despite my numerous attempts to try to get her out of it, she kept going back to him. Yes, I wish him death, I hope he dies a slow, excruciating, horrible death because of the immense cruelty he has delivered upon my family, but for choosing to go back to him, I no longer care what happens to my mother. My grudge with her goes back much further than this, she has constantly put herself over me and my brother even when we were babies, so to me, she was never truly a mother to begin with. Now, this isn't to say I agree with Quagmire's ridiculous intervention, as we never see Brenda do anything to deserve this kind of treatment. But, it does come down to one person to end the abuse - they could have all the help in the world, but as I have witnessed first-hand, all that help is useless if the person who has it chooses to do nothing with it.

It's another example of MacFarlane's misogyny along with the emasculation of Quagmire's father. There is literally nothing but dysfunction in that family, and this episode failed to put any of that in context. The opportunity to do it right was there, but they squandered it shamelessly and settled for one false equivalence after another. That makes it all the more ironic that Quagmire's takedown of Brian was one of the show's finest moments. Also quite ironically considering the fate of its star, *Silver Spoons* did a better job dealing with it, too, when the topic of domestic abuse came up regarding fathers who hit their sons; Meeno Peluce, who co-starred with Joel Higgins on his previous series *Best of the West,* was the boy in question there. At least they don't try to make you feel like a dork or a reactionary for caring.

She would talk about something that hurt me, claim that she thought I wouldn't be hurt. She told me to kill myself, and every time I tried to get out of it, she threatened to kill herself if I left her, after she yelled at me the previous day for absolutely nothing. I would treat her with respect and she would throw me around psychologically. respect buys disrespect apparently. I know there's nice people who watch these videos, idk what people think this episode of family guy is well interpretation, but they really don't know how it feels to be abused.

There’s ways to tactfully handle tough or inherently grim subjects, Family Guy completely misses the mark. As someone whose experienced domestic violence myself, this episode just gives terrible flashbacks to instances when I was being abused. The fact that thus shows tries to make jokes out of Brenda being physically beaten by her boyfriend is NOT ok. It is currently estimated that 50-60% of women murdered were killed by their romantic partner. Domestic violence is a very real, serious issue. It’s estimated that a minimum of 25-33% of women and 14% men will experience domestic violence at some point in their life. Comedy is supposed to make you laugh, not give you flashbacks to a traumatizing point in your life.

And to add insult to injury, Meg tells Brenda to stay in the relationship. This is either a reference to Seahorse Seashell Party, or to remind us that Meg is psychologically damaged.

Ways in which this plot could have worked (based on my own experiences with abuse): 1. All of the abuse happens behind closed doors, with nobody suspecting a thing. Jeff appears to be such a nice, likable person, that Brenda does not dare speak out about his abuse, for fear of beings called crazy and even shunned by the other characters, leaving her to face Jeff completely alone. 2. They DO suspect abuse towards Brenda, but decide to look the other way, or even try to rationalize it. Reasons may include Jeff being sick, disabled, or something else that invokes sympathy, Brenda not fitting the image of "the ideal victim", or people simply liking Jeff too much to face the truth (yes, that actually happens). 3. Brenda is being abused by Jeff in more subtle, psychological ways, and because of the over-the-top portrayal of domestic abuse in the media, nobody takes her seriously.

4. Brenda turns out to be the one abusing Jeff. She is able to hold power over him by making HIM look like the abuser in front of other people. Because of their appearances and societal stereotypes, everyone seems to fall for it.

***** Yes, I do. Also, Patrick, I'm not saying I disagree. I'm just saying it didn't just fall out of the sky. It does need more development though. Plus, Family Guy can't even do COMEDY right anymore, so what were they thinking trying to handle these serious topics in the first place?

FYI, according to a later episode, Brenda actually DIED at some point later. I can only assume it was either suicide or her new Jeff.

I really appreciate what you said here. You hit a lot of really solid points, and your anger was beyond justified. This episode was a lazy attempt to get people to think that Family Guy is smart and deep, and you said exactly what needed to be said. What really boggles my mind about this is that a lot of the things you said in your review were kind of obvious, and it amazes me just how easily Family Guy missed the point on such a prevalent and dangerous issue. Thank you.

The entire Quagmire speech section says to me that the writer has no idea how abuse works and somehow thinks the victim is stupid for not just walking away. Really ignorant stuff.

For what I see, like in Harry Potter there are 3 Unforgivable Curses, in the real world there are 3 Unforgivable Crimes: - Abuse (Of any kind) is the Imperious Curse, since whoever does it seeks control over other people; - Rape (being physical or brainwashing) is the Cruciatus Curse, since both rape and torture are often described as fates worse than death itself; - Murder is for obvious reasons the Killing Curse
